Courant One of the local assemblies of the Knights of Labor in New York, has had the shrewdness to repudiate the absurd socialistic views to which District Master Workman Quinn gave utterance last week before a legislative committee. Att meet ing on Friday the following action was taken :-
 WHEREAS, James E. Quinn, as district mas ter workman, has, under oath, before 8 con- mittee of the assembly of this state, declared himself in favor of the confscation to the gov- ernment of al property, real and personal, and the operation by it of all business and in- dustrial enterprises and
 WHEREAS, Such views are not only commun- istic and socialistic in the extreme, but are subversive of all American ideas, destructive to liberty and suitable only to tha despotism of mob,
 ResolUed, That we enter our solemn protest against the sal action of District Master Workman Quirln; that we denounce the views and opinions so expressed by him, and we ca l upon ale delegates to District Assembly 49 to take suchlprompt and summary action in the matter aS shall make it apparent to the members of thd order of the Knights of Labor and the public(at large that such views are not only not supported by the Knights of La- Dor, but are ndE entertained by them, and are nation.
 The tendedcy in several large cities, where the threign atheistic element is strong, to tnrn the local assemblies into headquarters for socialists and anarchists, has done more damage to the organiza ton than has been done by the ill-advised strikes. Phe intelligent American work ingman can have no sympathy with such unameric n ideas, and should lose no op- portunity of letting his sentiments be known.

The men were then ordered back to work.

 I deem the best service I can render to my patrons is to point out the ways and means by which they can best serve themselves In bringing to knowledg, facts which upon in- vestigation provethe existence of opportunities by which they may derive lasting benefits, my duty is hnlf performed. It must be apparent that one who associated with and connncted by intimate relations with those who are upon the ground, and whose special business it IS to watch and to know, is best able to judge when opportunities are fairest. There is at present no excitement, no "boom,, in fact nothing to disturb the normal condition of things, but on the contrary matters seem to
 
 basis, but show clearly the clements of success and permanence. While crops have not been so superabRIiant as tohood the country with cheap an hnsalable surplus, there is plenty everyvhesl and ::sspsesly in the western counties of Kansas there is @ large surplus for export at tempting prices. I assert that the present conditions are conspicuosly favorable for sound oonservative work, and that &c., curities selected now have the crowning ad- vantage of abnormal basis of values There g nothing to create visionary or inflated values, and land can be bought for what it is worth but on the contrary land has a sub stantiAl money value, which is easily ascer- tained, and that is the key to the situation.
 Under these conditions the business of in vesting funds upon farm mortgage securi' 'ies, and producing a class of paper absolutely beyond question in every point of safety and convenience, becomes an exact science, and the only condition of perfect work is mastery of the science. may be permitted to say, without vanity, the immense success attend ing the sale of mortgage securities hns carried me to the rare and enviable position from which can point to the work done, and let it tell the story. Let the hundreds of invest ors, great or small, for whom I have dis charged great and responsible trusts, one and all come forth and testify, and will abide the verdict
 Any list of oans might furnish could only serFe as a temporary guide. But as- sure old friestds and new that all orders shall be filled with my best judgement. And in all the years of my business have never ask ed man to take security that was not ab- solutely first-class and satisfactory in every detail.

Salt Lake Tribune A miner in Lead vile, Col, who can neither read nor write, is worth today at least 8 3,OOO,G Four years ago he hadn't penny, except what he earned from day to day as a miner His name is John l.. Morrissey.. de is a young man, not more 32 or s. The Grown Point mine, like Tom Bowen's Golconda, was just about paying expenses. Her owners offered to sell for $4O,00O. Mor- rissey went to Chicago and interested Diamo Id Joe Reynolds in the matter. Reynolds knew that Morrissey was an au- thority on mining, even if he couldn't write his name. He finally purchased the Grown Point, agreeing to give Morrissey half interest after the original sum was repaid. Within 30 days they struck vein of high-class ore that has yielded them a monthly income of $1S,OO0 apiece ever since. There is said to be $5, 1000, GOO worth of ore in sight Morrissey cannot even tell the time of day. It is stock joke among the boys, if you ask Morrissey what o'clock it is, for him to pull from his fob $500 watch, and, with condescend- ing air, tell you to 'luk for yerself and then yell know I am not lying to yez.''

Among California's important industries

Among California's important industries is ostrich farming. A few years ago an African ostrich farmer, Dr. Sketchley, by name, was nearly ruined by the Zulus. He determined to try southern California, and found that it was exactly the climate needed. The birds, flock of 20 or SO, were placed at Anaheim, about 20 miles from Los Angeles, and have proved val uable industry. The birds are easier to raise than chickens, having actually no trouble or sickness, the only ones lost be- ing by accidents. So successful was this first venture that the doctor has been to Africa second time, and has now a second ostrich farm established at the old Las Feliz ranch, north of the city of Los An geles.

THE ending of the great combined strike in New York is somewhat like the game of cats' corner, in which some one always finds aDut that there are not corners enough teF go around, save that in this instance some of the corners are taken by those who were not in the game. Many new men have been hired, and the employers refuse to displace these to make room for strikers. This is an unfortu- nate outcome, and falls upon many men who left their work reluctantly, but in obedience to the orders of the organization which they were pledged to obey. Undoubtedly places will be made fast as possible for the most worthy, and as undoubtedly those who have used and advocated violent methods to gain their ends will be left out. And now that they have gained this point the great corpo- rations engaged in this fight should be mag unanimous, and set about equalizing matters. They cannot Gford to under pay their men. They have won this time because the methods of the strikers have met public disappraval In every case where the public at large have recognized the justice of 8 strike the strikers have won. In such cases public sentiment holds the balance of power. Let either side before making an issue find out which has and will deserve to have, public sympathy, and try also by it's methods to retain this win ming factor.

The men now &C., knowledge they were badly beaten, and some of them are severe in their expres- sions of the action of their leaders.

Willimantic Chronicle Representative Phillips of Coventry has introduced bill providing for uniformity of tex5 books to be used in the public schools of the state, which means that set of books purchased in one town can be used in any town in the state, thereby making quite a saving to parties who are obliged to change their residence. It is a sensible measure, and ought to pass. He also offered reso- lution for an appropriation of $500 to erect 8 stone coping around the Nathan Hale monument and to grade the grounds. This resolution is worthy one, and had ought to pass. The monument has recent ly rebuilt, and it is without any protection or grading about it. MT. F., it seems, is looking after the interests of his town, and no doubt his efforts will be appreciated.

One cent coffee stands to the number of SIX have been started in lower New York by benevolent woman. Mrs. J. M. Lam- adrid, within month, and during that time some 30,000 meals have been sold. Her patrons are mainly boot-bIacks and newsboys, and the dinner consists of baked beans or soup and coffee. Mrs. Lama drid, recognizing the need of these cheap booths, went to work without attaching herself to any philanthropic organization and started a one cent counter in Ann street, and with such success that she was encouraged 10 add five others in that part of the city. She has thus far superintend- ell the cooking of the food, which is de- livered at the booths in a wagon, and she makes daily trip to see that the business is properly conducted. This is an inter- esting kind of philanthropy talk, no meeting of committees, no wise essays on the fundamental principles of one-cent dinners, but quiet, effective work.
